Graduate Student @ UT & UX Designer

Short Bio

Hi! I’m Yalin. I’m a first year Ph.D student at School of Information, The University of Texas at Austin, and my research interests are in consumer health information seeking behaviors, UX design/information architecture, and social media studies.I got my Bachelor’s degree in Management Information System (MIS) in Beijing, China and my Master’s degree in Information Studies from UT. I was trained both in computer science and business administration during my college time and in my master’s study, my focuses were mainly on information architecture and user-centered system design.

I’m looking forward to have opportunities working in industry as UX designer or user researcher as a summer intern.
